Updated Sept. 1, 2000 9:51 a.m. ET

In what was the worst month ever for flight delays, a total of 13 scheduled flights in June arrived late 100% of the time, according to the Department of Transportation. The worst offender was US Airways 399, which flies four times weekly between New York's LaGuardia Airport and Pittsburgh and arrived an average of 130 minutes late each time. Another US Airways flight, number 1642, between LaGuardia and Greensboro, N.C., had average delays that month of nearly an hour. The carrier with the most flights that never arrived on time was United Airlines, beset with delays at its Chicago and Denver hubs.
